Chapter 17: Shooting the Condor (Part II)
Reading Pavilion γ γ, the full text is free to read.
The dragon took the hammer and the chisel, and chiseled seven or eight times and opened an eye in the center of the big stone, and then he opened two more eyes above and below the eye, and then added a steel wedge to it, and after striking lightly with the hammer, he picked up the hammer and hammered it heavily on each wedge. The big stone snapped into two halves.
I have seen stonemasons open stones, and my favorite thing to do when I was a child was to watch stonemasons open stones and blacksmiths to make iron. But it's the first time I've ever seen a stone open so neatly.
After Huzi applauded, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Long, your title of Earth Dragon is not for nothing. I don't think it will take more than five days for this passage to open. β
In the same way, the dragon split the stone into small pieces, and the big ones were loaded and pushed out. Huzi and I helped load the cart inside, and after the stones were pushed, the girl began to use a shovel to clear the earthwork in front of her, and the dragon made a support bucket in the back.
Huzi and I began to help transport the wood inside. Just as we were sending off the third trip, we found that the dragon and the girl were squatting in front of them and did not move, and I approached Huzi and I, and I was amazed.
I saw a corpse lying on the ground, and the upper body that had been cleared out at this time, he was lying on the ground with his hands stretched forward. Moreover, he did not rot and looked like a monstrous monster.
Irito said, "He wanted to come out, but he was blocked by the big stone just now. He was finally buried here by the collapsed thief hole. There won't be one person in this, there must be someone else. β
Huzi said: "Brother Long, my second father said that there were no less than 100 people coming in front of and behind here, and none of them came out alive. β
The dragon snorted and said, "If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work." It's not enough for anyone to be bold and careful, but also to have professional technology, which is not enough! The main thing is to be gifted and spiritual. Countless tomb robbers die every year, but I have never heard of Captain Touching Jin dying in the tomb. This is also the self-esteem of Captain Touchkin. β
At this time, the dragon looked at the girl and said, "Wenwen, dig people out!" β
It wasn't until this time that I realized that the girl's name was Wenwen.
Long Wenwen snorted, and the small shovel hollowed out the surrounding soil and rocks with a few clicks. With this small shovel, the ordinary stone is cut directly, as easily as cutting tofu. It can be seen that this shovel is not a vulgar thing.
The sharpness of the shovel is one thing, and the other is that Miss Wenwen's strength is extraordinary, especially the instantaneous impact, which is not comparable to ordinary people. Stones are stones, and without enough strength and speed, they won't really cut as well as tofu.
The body was carried out by me and Huzi, and although the man was not decomposed, the smell was not very good. This is the exclusive smell of the dead, and it makes people smell it with a disgusting emotion.
After carrying it out, although I wanted to let it go quickly, it was raining outside, so I put it on the ground like this, and I was suspected of being disrespectful to the corpse. As soon as I discussed with Huzi, I was affected, and carried the body directly to the hall and placed it in the center of the hall.
There was a fire in the middle of the hall, and we put the bodies next to the fire.
The dead man's appearance was no longer recognizable, and he had long since been deformed. His corpse, though still human-like, was swollen and his clothes were bulging.
Grandpa Bai came over, took a look at it, and said, "This person has not been dead for a long time, that is, more than ten years!" β
I said, "When the rain stops, find a place to bury it." I see a small slope behind me, which is suitable for opening holes. β
Huzi said: "Let's put it here first, and then talk about it later." β
After Huzi and I put the body away, we returned to the entrance of the cave again, took the wooden stick we had prepared, and walked inside. When he entered, the dragon was weaving the support bucket, he was skilled and fast. Half an hour later, I advanced another two meters.
He tilted his head to look at me and asked, "Did you see something strange when you ate mushrooms last night?" β
I said, "Brother Long, it seems that you know about this mushroom." β
Irito said with a smile: "Mushrooms are the most interesting poisons in the world, Yunnan has the most poisonous mushrooms, all kinds of mushrooms are poisonous, and different mushrooms are poisoned. If you eat too much, you will poison people. But it still can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for eating mushrooms, after all, mushrooms are so delicious. As long as you grasp the degree and do it in moderation, there will be no problem. β
The big man said while loading the car in the back: "I won't tell you the truth, we have suffered from this poisonous mushroom in Yunnan, and I was stunned to see a group of white-boned little devils dancing for me in front of me." Don't be afraid at all, just take care of the novelty. β
The dragon smiled and said: "What I saw was not, what I saw was the Twelve Pillars of Jinling, Wang Xifeng took the lead, followed by Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Qin Keqing and other women, dancing the current disco, shaking their heads, looking at me stupid, do you know?" β
I looked at Long Wenwen and said, "I don't know what Wenwen you see?" β
"Want to know? I'll tell you when I'm out. She looked at me and smiled, then took the shovel and dug again.
Huzi went up to help her dig a few times, Long Wenwen pushed Huzi and said, "You dodge, be careful that the landslide buries you inside." β
Irito smiled and said, "Huzi, you better don't do it, Wenwen is more sensitive than everyone else in this hole, she can feel the collapse in five minutes." Can you do it? β
I was incredible, and I said, "Five minutes later? β
As soon as I finished speaking, Wenwen stopped, she took two steps back and said, "The top of my head is going to collapse, and there are still four minutes and thirty seconds!" β
Huzi looked at his watch and said, "Why am I so unbelieving!" β
The dragon said, "You still have to believe it, retreat, retreat into the support bucket and you'll be fine." β
Huzi continued to look at his watch and said, "I'm pinching a little, if it collapses on time, I'm really convinced." β
Long Wenwen said: "What's the use of you taking it?" Either the two of us make a bet, and when the time comes, how about you treat me to a meal of Quanjude's roast duck after you go out? β
Huzi said, "Okay, no problem! β
We all retreated, and as the minutes passed, Huzi began to count down: "Ten, nine, eight, sevenγ......"
At this time, the roof of the cave began to fall slag, and just when Huzi said "two", the front collapsed. If people are below, they will be suffocated to death, and there is no possibility of survival.
Huzi said, "What a god! β
It was two seconds earlier, maybe it was because the tiger was timing wrong. Strictly speaking, it is already incredible that the accuracy can be so high.
I said, "Brother Long, with Wenwen to help you, you are safe and worry-free!" β
The big man smiled at this time and came over to start cleaning up the fallen dirt and rocks. He used to run back and forth, every two minutes, similar to a robot, but it was obvious that the farther he went, the more time it would take.
It took half an hour for the collapse to be cleaned up. Long Wenwen continued to dig forward, and Brother Long continued to weave the support bucket in the back.
I said, "Look at the progress, it's almost all over in three and a half days!" β
Long Wenwen said: "If it goes well, it can be dug in three days!" β
Huzi and I have been helping out here, so we forgot about the corpse behind.
Since the corpse was carried back by me and Huzi, this Hu Junjie did not dispose of the corpse without authorization, which caused the corpse to still be parked in the hall when we went back in the evening.
I said, "Why hasn't this body been disposed of yet?" β
Hu Junjie said: "Your corpse, how can we be so active?" β
I laughed angrily and said, "Okay, okay, I'll deal with Huzi tomorrow." Let's stop here tonight. β
At the end of the day, I was so tired that my back and legs hurt, so I moved to a small building on the second floor, and fell asleep after I was full.
When I was sleeping soundly, I heard someone slamming the door in my dream, and when I opened my eyes, I heard the big man below shouting: "Chen Yuan, Huzi, I am Long Sihai!" Open the door, your corpse has run away! β
